How are Mrs. Bush's gang mettings going?
Edited on Sun Mar-06-05 11:46 PM by politicasista
Looks like Jim Brown is drinking koolaid and wants to get in on the action.

First Lady’s Focus on Gangs Met with Mix of Hope and Skepticism

Date: Sunday, March 06, 2005
By: William Douglas, BlackAmericaWeb.com

If First Lady Laura Bush wants to go into the ‘hood to talk about the dangers of street gangs, Jim Brown says he’s got her back.

"Absolutely," Brown told BlackAmericaWeb.com. "If she wanted to sit down, talk to former gang members, see neighborhoods, it would be my pleasure."

Brown, the fearsome Cleveland Browns Hall of Fame running back, action movie hero and straight-talking anti-gang activist, gives President George W. Bush props for recognizing that America’s city’s, suburbs and rural areas are under siege by violent street gangs.

4. Why don't I think Laura fits in this role?
It just doesn't make sense to me why anyone involved in a gang would pay any attention to this lady at all.

I have a very limited experience with any gangs, but the few members that I've known wouldn't have much admiration or respect for Laura Bush.

6. On the other hand she's part of the Bush Gang
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 12:23 AM by Mabus
and they've been quite successful in hiding their gang activities by laundering them through congress. Maybe Pickles is just doing her part by finding the next "Armstrong Williams" or "Condi Rice" to lift up from poverty for the Republicans to capitalize on.

10. Don't be surprised
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 12:01 AM by FreedomAngel82
I betcha they'll do that. Find some teenager to give some sob story and how Laura "Pickels" Bush helped make his life better. I wonder how much she'll pay him.... Remember the Iraqi voter at the SOTU speech? :eyes:

14. See, I'm not crazy
it is their pattern. Do very little and exploit the hell out of it. She won't have to pay him, he'll get his money by the usual means, laundered through a government agency (just like Armstrong) or through Scaife.

17. arggghhh. you've got us there.
she married into one of the most evil gang of thugs on the planet. but she's more "married to the mob" than anything else. Although she did kill someone, which is a requirement for some of the hard-core gangs.

20. And I think she makes chimpie run the gauntlet from time to time
That wasn't a pretzel that gave Chimpie those scratches. Everyone knows it was Pickles "The Enforcer." It was because the chimp was behind in his weekly payments to one of the corporations and they sent Pickles in.

That was no accident when she was 17. It was a hit. I've watched "Lifetime Movie Channel" enough to recognize an unrequited/"If I can't have him, no one will" love hit when I see it. ;)

No Koolaid required.

7. She's coming to Milwaukee...to an undisclosed location
Funny how they won't say where she'll be visiting but the photo ops will be with rooms full of people. Bought and paid for for all we know.

11. Something I wonder
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 12:02 AM by FreedomAngel82
Will they have to sign a loyalty oath and come over to the good side and attend a faith-based "get out of gang life" program before receiving their autograph photo of Mr. Bush and his wife?

19. I can't help but think of that scene in the movie "Airplane!"
Stewardess: "Can I get you something?"

Jive Dude: "Chi, mo' fo buttuh layin' into the bone, 'sjackin' me up. Tightly."

Stewardess: "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

Jive Dude2: "Cut he say can't hang."

Old Lady: "Oh stewardess? I speak Jive."

Stewardess: "Oh, good."

Old Lady: "He said that he's in great pain, and he wants to know if you can help him."

Stewardess: "Alright, would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine."

Old Lady: "Jes' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch up on the rebound on the med side."

Jive Dude: "What it is, big mama, my mama didn't raise no dummies, I dug her rap."

Old Lady: "Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help."

Jive Dude: "Say can't hang, say seven up."

Old Lady: "Jive ass dude don't got no brains, anyhow."
